A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude in air of 1.00 μm,

A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude in air of 1.00 μm, but the frequency of this sound can be adjusted. In order to prevent ear damage to the workers, the maximum pressure amplitude of the sound waves is limited to 10.0 Pa. Under the conditions of this factory, the bulk modulus of air is 1.23×105 Pa . The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s.

Part A

What is the highest-frequency sound to which this machine can be adjusted without exceeding the prescribed limit?

    
f =   Hz

Solutions

Expert Solution

Pmax = B*k*A

k = 2*pi/lambda

lambda = v/f

Pmax = B*2*pi*f*A/v

f = Pmax*v/(B*2*pi*A) = 10*344/(2*3.14*1.23*10^5*10^-6)

f = 4453.42 Hz

A steel factory produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of these rods vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. According to design, the standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .05 inches. The quality control...

3.32. Quality Control. An automatic machine in a small factory produces metal parts. Most of the time (90% according to long-term records), it produces 95% good parts, while the remaining parts have to be scrapped. Other times, the machine slips into a less productive mode and only produces 70% good parts. The foreman observes the quality of parts that are produced by the machine and wants to stop and adjust the machine when she believes that the machine is not...
